Marathon is becoming a whole new game next month with a roguelite PvE mode, a beta for a very Halo-esque team deathmatch mode, a vibey social space and more

Bungie has announced that Marathon’s next season, Symbiosis, will add several major modes and features when it launches on 8 December. The update expands the extraction shooter with co-operative PvE, a social hub and a team deathmatch beta, giving players more ways to play.

The PvE mode, called Expedition, is roguelite and appears to involve completing tasks before extracting, though solo play has not been confirmed. The new social space, Limbo, includes a mini arena and firing range, while the robot runner Bishop, new weapons and large alien enemies are also on the way. Marathon will be free to play from 8 to 15 December.
